I thought the screenwipe wasn't nearly vitriolic enough. I suppose the programmes speak for themselves how shit they are, but even so, I wanted some delicious Christmas fury to warm the cockles of my h.
there were a group of people who would show up at his concerts and such with signs proclaiming that John Tesh was actually an alien. At one point John Tesh actually tried to talk to them, and they all ran away. He wound up chasing them down the street, yelling "I just want to talk", but they all kept running.

Yes. I never really stopped liking brooker and I never read his column.

Evidently the path to happiness is never to read anything ever again.

You should read his column twice.

Also last night's was a bit boring. Also he used the same footage of Max Clifford and that footballer slag woman, but with a slightly more rubbish joke this time.

And, thinking about it, didn't he just have to do a digest last time because he'd knacked himself?

It's almost as exciting as Kiefer Sutherland having an operation, not affecting the 24 schedule at all.

No. He had to do the digest early (i.e. episode 5 instead of 6) because he knacked himself.

Thank you, Explanation Mark. That doesn't really explain why he's doing it after 4 episodes this time.

Slow news week. There are only so many jokes you can make about a kamikaze luge runner before people say 'enough'.

But how can he know what the news will be next week?

And surely the length of series was determined before the show began, and, thus, before the news had even 'happened'?

A lot of it isn't really "this week's news" though, the show has to commision lots of short films and performances etc in advance, so they probably didn't have the material and/or budget to fill 6 shows.
there were a group of people who would show up at his concerts and such with signs proclaiming that John Tesh was actually an alien. At one point John Tesh actually tried to talk to them, and they all ran away. He wound up chasing them down the street, yelling "I just want to talk", but they all kept running.

How much can it possibly cost to put Tim Key in a badly-lit room?

I like how the man has done years of generally quality TV output and all it takes is one slightly duff show for freyja to unleash her evil.

I haven't seen it so I'm not sure yet if I will be joining her in her campaign to destroy him.

The news doesn't happen. It is an elaborate facade designed to grip the nation in fear, like in some sort of bad science fiction film.

You've seen his screenwipe shows about how much it costs to make even the simplest bit of tv. Music rights clearance, performer/crew money, the cost of scrounging in a skip for bad lighting, etc.

Also, the Adam Curtis film may have cost a few pence.

I don't think I like Explanation Mark straying from facts into opinion pieces.

I spent about 30 seconds rolling the letters 'hWy' around in my head, trying to figure out what kind of hipster media anagram it was supposed to be, before I realised my mistake.
